[PATCH 2/2] mmc_spi: lock the SPI bus when accessing the card

From: Mike Frysinger
Date: Thu Sep 17 2009 - 18:03:26 EST


From: Yi Li <yi.li@xxxxxxxxxx>

The MMC/SPI spec does not play well with typical SPI design -- it often
needs to send out a command in one message, read a response, then do some
other arbitrary step. Since we can't let another SPI client use the bus
during this time, use the new SPI lock/unlock functions to provide the
required exclusivity.
